MSI GX 60 mit 7970

[Meaker]

In windows 7.

A mechanical platter hard drive is usually the limiting factor for Windows 7 WEI scores that range from 1.0 to 7.9.The WEI score is for the lowest scoring part.The mechanical hard drive normally receives a 5.9.

Add a SATA III 6gb/s SSD and scores will jump to 7.? with the lowest score probably coming from stock graphics.

Windows 8 Release Preview WEI scores range from 1.0 to 9.9.

In your mega Barebone? Running W8 or W7??

Also I found another pic, and this time it says "5.4" (runing Windows 8 Customer Preview), Again I think is a low score. maybe something is wrong...



Yeah, your DV6z has a higher score... but, 6,5 on 6750m? on Aero Perfomance I think... my 6480g scores 6,5 in gaming performance and 5,9 on Aero.

I also suppose CPU will have the lowest score in the MSI, but not too low like in pictures...


By another side, what about the housing? The entire notebook looks like GT60, but upper clam looks like GT683 (Plastic, I think). MSI has not any official information about GX60 in their website, Maybe MSI will release it with GT60 Brushed Aluminium Upper Case? Also I hope a backlighted keyboard like GT60

Yeah WEI for me varies from driver to driver. I think on an older one I used to have 6.8-6.9, but having the 6220g turned on probably brings it down a few points.

Yeah I think build will be very similar to GT60. I'm hoping to buy barebones and get more customization.

Exactly... Storage Drive can't be...

GX60 has 2 Sandisk U100 in RAID0, so the score must be higher than 7,9

Also, the graphics are 7660g on APU and a 7970m... both are very, very powerful, so it can't be the lowest score.

Well, I think we must wait a little more... I'm very interested in this model...

At first I was so sure that I was going for the GT60, but now an AMD based is out, I'm actually pretty excited. Super high end graphic card, but a medium CPU (Hope I can OC this thing), but the expected price sure sounds nice.

Just wondering, based on all your guys' experience, about when do you guys think this thing will be on the market, for North America that is.

I ran across some new blogs that put American pricing in the $1500 range , which is quite far from the $1200 price tag that was initially foretold.....................If this is true then my excitement for this will be short lived.

Might as well get a Sager or a GT60 at that point. I dunno if MSI would shoot themselves in the foot like that.

Dunno. If it's a fully loaded notebook, (Blu-ray, 2x500GB+ HDDs, backlit keyboard, good wireless), it might still be viable. But if it's much more over, I don't know, $1350, I'll be very critical of performance tests.

The Max WEI score that any of sub scores can produce in Windows 7 is 7.9 so 2 SSDs in raid0 or a single SSD will only go up to 7.9.

Where did you see that the GX60 will have 2 x U100(Super Raid) raid0?

Except there's no backlit keyboard, no killer NIC and no Dynaudio speakers that the other variant has. I think MSI was trying to balance out the costs of the 7970m and/or just make the system as cheap as possible.

Yeah, In windows 7, but as I said before, there was some GX60 Running Windows 8 Customer Preview...

I saw Super Raid configuration and windows 8 CP here:

Killer NIC was listed in the exposition, Keyboard is SteelSeries, in the prototipe is the not backlit version, but quicklaunch pad has the same backlit button from the GT60, maybe the button is for switching external lights or maybe release version will have backlit keyboard. About Dynaudio... yeah, Dynaudio mark don't appear... but Is possible MSI release a Gseries without Dynaudio Speakers? I hope they don't do that!

I don't think MSI want to balance costs, then why they put two SanDisk U100??
